Now that Sam Barber has your attention, hes looking forward to holding onto it a while.I love making anything that can affect someone emotionally, Barber says.
The 21-year old singer-songwriter from Southeast Missouri has already seen his career begin ona meteoric rise, and his upcoming debut album, Restless Mind, is set to send him into orbit. Theaccompanying Restless Mind Tour in fall 2024, which features Barbers Ryman Auditorium debutand showcase slots at the Giddy Up Festival and GoldenSky Festival, will introduce tens ofthousands of new fans to Barbers energetic and emotional live show as well.

Recorded in Nashville and in Barbers bedroom in Montana during breaks in his hectic 2024touring schedule, Restless Mind will feature music that dates to the first songs Barber ever wrote.It sums up my whole music career, and everything Ive done, he says of the record. The albumranges from stripped-down acoustic to fill-the-room melodies, so he tapped multiple producers,including Eddie Spear (Zach Bryans American Heartbreak as well as Barbers 2023 EP, Million
Eyes) to create the album, as Barber wanted to bring multiple perspectives to his sound.

The first single off of Restless Mind is Better Year, which Barber released in August 2024 along with a B-side cover of Tyler Childers Jersey Giant.

Release Date: 28th February 2025
